Who are Seven Squared?

We are a collective of gamer artists, illustrators, designers and licensing professionals.

Having worked with some of the biggest gaming franchises in the world, in mid 2021 we thought it time to give kudos to the whole story and history of video games in a unique way and create truly original and fully licensed limited edition apparel from some of the world's best retro games.​

As life long gamers and professional designers based in the UK, we thought it might be a good idea to keep alive the names of some of the world's favourite retro games. Some you remembered, and some you did not, but they all held a place in video game history and our hearts.

Back then we set out to speak to the original game owners and properly licence our designs so each design is approved by the original studio or rights owner before you see it.​  

This was wonderful for a few years but it had its limitations. Creatively and commercially when it comes to wanted to tell more of the story.

The main thing however was the retrogaming community loved our creations, our takes on the unique journey and why we were doing what we were to support the mental health conversation. 

We're retrogaming through and thru and every game we design for is representative of our own journey playing some of the greatest games on our own or with friends.

Please read our blog for more on our journey, our choices, reasoned perspectives, design inspiration and recent changes etc.​ 

As per above, our inspiration comes from our desire to make a difference for everyone and enable the wonderful retrogaming community to support each other's mental health. So, we teamed up with video game mental health charity Safe In Our World. After all, playing video games has always been supportive of our mental health. 

Every time you buy a Tee, you are making a contribution to their great work. Some are even Safe In Our World exclusives where 100% of the profits go direct to the charity.  

It would be great to get some comments from you guys so please comment on the blog or continue to engage with us via our social channels. ​

Thanks for being on the journey with us. We really appreciate it. 

Together, we are #KeepingTheGameAlive ..
